Summary: Severus attends a Halloween party.
Severus was invited to his first Halloween party after he graduated from Hogwarts. Hosted by the Lestranges, it was promised to be the biggest bash of the year, complete with eerie decorations and, as it was rumored, even a live demonstration of the Unforgivables. The best part was that it was invitation-only, and no Gryffindors were allowed.
At first, Severus felt out of place. He knew some of the attendees from school, but they didn't pay him much mind. He shuffled around in the corner, picked at a plate of food, and began to regret thinking that things would be different there.
The demonstrations began and Bellatrix Lestrange took obvious pleasure in torturing a house-elf with the Unforgivables. Other demonstrators took stage as well, and performed some homemade curses. During a gap in presenters, Severus volunteered himself and performed his Sectumsempra - wordlessly, for extra effect. The crowd hushed as the house-elf twisted in agony and blood began to spill.
After the house-elf stopped twitching, Bellatrix laughed with shrill enthusiasm. "That was wonderful!" she declared, and the audience applauded. Beneath the noise, she whispered to Severus, "There's someone you need to meet."
Severus felt like he belonged, at last.
